oops... you're right, I meant to say "I'm not sure" intstead of "I'm nature". Looks like I was so concerned about my japanese's being correct that I went totally free style with the english. not good
I indeed wrote the word "言葉". I'll have to write 言 differently when it's on its own and put enough space between two kanji.

Supposedly all kanji should be the same size, and approximately square. So one has to 'stretch' or 'squeeze' them until they fit squares of the same size.

Compare, for example, these three kanji: 女少妙. All of them are the same size even though the third one combines the other two (each of them squeezed to half their width). And one hardly needs a little white space between them to see what belongs to each character.

Some are perfect but I especially love 音楽家's handwritings. The waving bar in the left of は and round shapes of こ and い. I don't know why but I think they seem artistic. In addition, I can't stop laughing with うんち出た! (childish in the funniest way!) :p B) :@

Also, frogmorton's (ルカ) one is impressive. It definitely looks like 9-year old Japanese school boy's! No offense intended. That's proper and with somewhat young feeling!
He must have learn correct stroke orders and maybe that makes it look much like a Japanese handwriting.
